"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.

This is a poster I designed for JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) which I also ride for. I also have these available through an Etsy store as a 14x25 poster. Printed on #130lbs. stock and UV coated. They are great for someone who has participated in the Ride to Cure program over the last ten years. All proceeds go directly to JDRF, the largest fundraiser for diabetes research in the world.

Well, through the summer I got into a creative slump. I've been more committed to getting in shape (so I can create for more years to come). I've had a couple good ideas that I've sketched out, but I haven't done much more with them. Mostly because with the kids home in the summer it gets busy and I don't much time to myself to sit and draw or paint. I've been trying to take my style and brushwork in a new direction (which is very hard) and sometimes very disheartening. After years of being a very detailed artist I want to get a more expressive look, which can involve a lot of experimenting and failures. It took a big toll on me and I've contemplated just getting a 'Joe' job at times. The kids are heading back to school and I'm really excited to getting back on track drawing and exploring where I can go as an artist. I know some of the stuff I've posted lately may not be the best, but it's taken a lot of unlearning to get this far.

So by the work in my Gallery you can probably tell I do a wide variety of works in many different mediums. I love to draw, paint, sketch, I love to create and for as long as I can remember I wanted to be an artist. So I went to College and was going to be a comic book artist. Six months after I started they dropped Illustration from their program as a Major. The influence of Computers had taken hold of art and my councilor instructed me that Graphic design was where all artists would end up.....I hated the thought of doing layouts and typography when I wanted to draw. And being I was going to small art school with a limited curriculum I dropped out. I free lanced and did a lot of temp work to get through and was content drawing here and there for people and companies. But work was far and very few between. then by happenstance the company my wife was working for wanted some fine art pieces having to do with the automotive industry for their building. They commissioned me and I created 8 pieces for them and launched my Automotive artist career. Over the next 5 years I traveled car shows and art fairs doing watercolor commissions for people of their cars, trucks, boat, planes, motorcycles, mopeds, pogo st....You get it. I started dabbling in pin-ups and sci-fi, fantasy while being a stay at home Dad for the last 8 years. And after a lengthy stand off with computers I have embraced digital art and am now trying to play catch up. I want to push my career past the starving artist phase and do more with what I love. Want to get more into Sci-fi and fantasy, character design, and movie/game concept work. Stay tuned...
